POISON IN CANNED GOODS.

Chloride of Zinc, Freely Used by Gamers,
as Deadly as Arsenic.
SO many cases of poisoning have
taken place by reason of the use of
canned goods that We. seeking for a
definite cause, find it arises from chlor-
Idle of zinc. This is a poison almost as
deadly as arsenic, and has place in
the closing of cans once occupied by
arsenic. Its adoption grew out of the
ease with which it can be used, skilled
labor not being required for its applica-
ton, and besides though not cheaper in
itself, it could be applied to cheaper
quality of tin plate, of which the cans
were then made. 1t was not until it
was used for this purpose that eases of
poisoning from the use of canned fruits
aud vegetables were known. although
its effects as Il poison in foreign coun-
tr es particularly in Germany, England
aud France. were a subject of medical
and chemical investigation long ago. A
child was fatally poisoned by it in Lon
don. and was unsuccessfully treated by
the faculty of the medical school of
London hospital, and the general symp-
toms OF its malady were similar To those
attending all the cases of poisoning by
reason of the use of canned goods. The
Gamer uses the dangerous material
freely. applying it with a large brush,
working so rapidly as to cap ten cans a
minute, and by the very reason of the
haste and carelessness of the method
employed admitting a greater or less
amount of the po son into every can
The consumption of these canned goods,
amounting to ten cans for every person
in the United States every year, gives
an apprecable idea of the yastnesJ o.
the attack made upon the human stom-
ach in this country. Gamers must stop
using this deadly poison, which attacks
the vital organs with resistless vigor,
and laws that fail to consider this inn
portant feature of the question fail in

A Sleeping Harness.

Americans invented the sleeping-car,
but a German has invented the sleeping
harness, if we may SO call it, that makes
the car less needful. Broad straps sup
port the arms; they pass through 4
moose over the head so that either arm
can be lowered, which gives one a
chance to change ones position. The
head is supported by pad, which is
attached to the upper part of the arm
straps. The back, of course, rests
against the back of the seat. Thus the
world changes. In old times beds and
pionos were horizontal. Now, both are
often upright. The new harness is the
natural sequel of this changes it will
enable man to sleep in his parlor bed
stead without taking it down.-SCra

UPPER HuRMAH.
Burmese Tribesmen Who Give Consider
able Trouble to the British Troops.

burmese Tribesmen Who Give Consider
able Trouble to the British Troops.
The most recently acquired British
dependency is a source of considerable
anxiety to its conquerors. The ease
with which the Anglo-lndian troops
dispersed King Theebaw's levies and
occupied his capital led to the hasty
conclusion that it would be simple
business to reduce Upper Burmah to
the same condition or tranquility pre-
vailing throughout Hindostan. But
the British. as usual, were over san
guinc. When British force under
takes to invade country it is invari-
ably filled with the belief, first, that the
inhabitants will not hazard any resist
ancc, and second, that if they should
be so rash as to oppose the advance of
British civilization their complete dis
comiiture will be instantaneous. But
the occupation of Mandalay no more
secured the submission of the Burmese
tribes than the occupation of Pretoria
secured the submission of the Beers
The overthrow of King Theebaw's
troops no more completed the conquest
of Burmah, than the overthrow of Shere
Ais troops completed the conquest of
Afghanistan. While the physical feat
ures of the two countries differ widely,
there are strong points of similarity be-
tween the Afghan people and the Bur-
mese. Both are turbulent and warlike,
md -, both tha t,.;l ,Ia
Among nations where this system is in
force, the central authority is
easily subverted by attack from
without. but the people it
self is proportionatcly hard to
subdue. The physical differences be-
tween Afghanistan and Upper Burmah
are all unfavorable to the invaders.
In the former, the country, although
mountainous, is open. Movements of
troops in every direction are generally
easy and never impossible. In Upper
Burmah, on the contrary. the country
is almost wholly covered with nearly
impenctrable jungle. Roads of any
kind can hardly be said to exist, and
the only highway of communication is
the Irrawaddy river.
The Burmese tribesmen, to whom
the British have readily given the
designation of dacois (the Hindostani
word for highway robbers), secure in
their jungle Businesses from effective
pursuit, issue forth when the fancy
takes them and attack the weaker OF
the British posts and patroling parties
| sometimes with undeniable. success
No better proof could be given of the
seriousness of the situation than the
appointment of Sir Frederick Robert:
to succeed his eX-Lieutenant, the lat,
Sir Herbert Macpherson, in commano
of the Anglo-lndian forces in Burmah
For Roberts, as the commander-in-chie
of the combined Anglo-Indian armies
takes distinct step downward in ac
cepting such position. The Govern
ment, however, clearly saw that tn,
condition of affairs required the hes
man available to deal with it success
fully.--N. o. Times Democrat.

BRUIN DEFEATED.
A West Virginian Who Knocked Down a
Huge Bear With His Fist.

Daniel Holiday was a man about
forty years of age when / first knew
him in 1925. He was at that period
one of the most noted hunters in the
countly--tall, about six feet in his
moccasins; weight about two hundred
and sixty pounds, raw-boned and mus
cular. One day while hunting in the
mountains he shot and wounded large
buck, which ran into the laurel brush.
Holiday saw that it was desperately
wounded, and followed it by the drops
and clots of blood on the leaves. He
had forgotten to load his rifle, and was
walking along the mountain side trail
ing the buck when he came to large
tree which had been uprooted by IA
storm, leaving large cavity under the
overhanging roots. In this hollow,
which was pretty well filled with
leaves, large bear lay curled up
asleep. When Holiday came in sight
the bear arose and walked toward him
growing. just before he reached Hol-
liday he.got up on his hind feet and
came at him, his little piggish eyes
swapping with mischief Holiday threw
his rifle, which was unloaded, to the
ground, and prepared himself for a
fair, square fight.
The bear walked up within reaching
distance. when Holiday struck him on
the nose, knocking his head to one side
and making him snort with rage. He
followed up his advantage and landed
several blows on the beasts side and
neck, paying very little attention to
the rules which govern the ring. In
about two or three minutes Holiday
had struck and kicked the bear until
he had knocked the breath out of him
and he seemed anxious to quit, when
Holiday landed a terrible blow in his
stomach. This mode of warfare dis
gusted the bear and he drew off and
lay down BY this time Holiday
thought it time to end the affair and
reached for his gnn. Before he could
load it the bear, who must have got
ten his second wind, got up and
came at him again in deadly earnest.
| ms time the hght was worse than be-
fore. The bear made several attempts
20 strike and claw Holiday, but the
latter was too quick for him and gave
him fearful blow on the ear, making
him whine. Holiday followed this up
by kicking and banging him in the
nose and anywhere he could. The
blows on the nose seemed to have a de
cidcd effect, for it was not long before
the bear dropped on all fours and re-
treated to the hollow. where he lay
down, whining like a whipped child.
Holiday then quickly loaded his gun
and shot him dead. The animal
weighed about four hundred pounds,
and when skinned the flesh showed a
dozen places where Holidays huge
fists had bruised ii. CharleSton( W. Ia. J

Electrical Stoves.

Electrical heating stoves are being
introduced in France, a peculiar feature
of their construction being that the
wires are let through apertures formed
in plates of refractory clay and plum
bago. These plates are not inclosed,
but are left exposed, so that the air can
circulate very freely through the aper-
lures, where it comes in contact with
the red hot wires. Wire bobbins are
inserted in the apertures, each bob bin
forming part of the electric circuit, and
all being connected for quantity; the
bobbins are heated by the passage of the
current. and serve to heat the air as it
passes to and fro over them. Boston

Omaha daily bee., 1887-12-05

THE only objection that has been
raised against locating the national re-
publican convention in Omaha is the
inability to properly accommodate the
guests. This is a mistake, as the Nc
braska committee will show upon its ar
rival in Washington. Omaha can find
quarters for every one who attends the
convention. Every delegate can be as
signed room before the date of the
convention and the exposition building
can be easily thrown into one large
room for the accommodation of the con-
vention itself. 1t is generally conceded
that Omaha stands a good show of sccur-
ing the prize. She has influential
friends all through the west at work in
her behalf.
